570. Deputy Paul J. Connaughton asked the Minister for Social Protection if a person can receive a winter fuel payment from the UK, which is based on contributions, while also receiving a fuel allowance, which is based on financial need, as any barrier to receiving both would punish persons for their years of work and reduce a much-needed financial boost both for pensioners and the country's balance of payments; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
